Interesting.   Could you expound on that a bit?

I'm pretty ignorant about v9+.  I first touched RSTS very early on - I'm
pretty sure I saw version 2A running (sneaking into the computer lab at
Carleton).  Later I actually got paid to use it around V6/V7 but after
that I moved on to other machines.

(Always likes rsts, however.  something cool about basic+ and then being
able to run rt11 also)

What would I notice/like/want running V9+ over running V7?  I'd enjoy
hearing from someone who's used it a lot.
